Rembe’s high pressure rupture discs (HPRDs) were recently employed by a multinational company in Belgium.
The firm wished to protect its polymer plant and meet with European regulations on pressure equipment.
By moving the weld seam out of the pressure-loaded area of the disc, the HPRDs have a much longer lifetime than comparable products, says the company.
With the pressure load purely applying on the seat of the disc, the process allows tightest burst tolerances up to +/- 3% and lower. As a result, the burst pressure is defined only by well-known factors such as material thickness.
“The challenge of high-pressure applications such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) production is one which our engineers relish and we are proud to be able to protect such processes,” says Claire Lloyd, Business Development Europe at Rembe.
